Investing In Municipal Services

The ward office should be a place where all residents can access a wide array of public city services.

Ambria will advocate for municipal sidewalk plowing, increased funding for current street plowing and repairs, and trashcans to line our major streets. The local ward office will provide formal support for independent local businesses in the face of competition from big box retailers like Amazon, increasing empty storefronts, increasing rent, and vacant lots.

Ambria will establish a community-driven development process and participatory budgeting in the 11th Ward like many other wards already have. We will have regular ward nights and community town halls unlike our predecessors. Most importantly, every service provided by the city and ward must also have translated websites and literature into all languages spoken in the city.

Introduce participatory budgeting and generate community input on development and zoning decisions.
COVID vaccine clinics, expanded testing and PPE availability for free in easily accessible locations
Translations and interpretation in Chinese and Spanish in all services and special programs to address the particular needs of residents who are immigrants
Neighborhood community centers
Monthly ward nights and town halls to receive input about resources and changes in city/ward

We can’t do this without you.
